Job 35:7-16 ▼

7 If you have been righteous, || What do you give to Him? Or what does He receive from your hand?

8 For a man like yourself [is] your wickedness, || And for a son of man your righteousness.

9 Because of the multitude of oppressions || They cause to cry out, || They cry because of the arm of the mighty.

10 And none said, Where [is] God my Maker? Giving songs in the night,

11 Teaching us more than the beasts of the earth, || Indeed, He makes us wiser than the bird of the heavens.

12 There they cry, and He does not answer, || Because of the pride of evildoers.

13 Surely God does not hear vanity, || And the Mighty does not behold it.

14 Indeed, though you say you do not behold Him, || Judgment [is] before Him, and stays for Him.

15 And now, because there is not, || He has appointed His anger, || And He has not known in great extremity.

16 And Job opens his mouth [with] vanity, || He multiplies words without knowledge.”
